Talking Localisation: Issue No. 3 (July 2025)

SC’s Localisation Task Team is happy to present a selection of key articles, blogs and reports on localisation and local leadership from the aid sector at large.

This week we share an article from Dobra Fabryka Ukraina, an Ukranian NGO working at the frontlines, as the organisation reflects on what happened after the USG Stop Work Order.
“For local NGOs, the government did not accept “stop orders” as an excuse…And when missile strikes hit and children were killed, we were expected to be there—to provide emergency support to grieving families. We delivered. As volunteers. With no budget, no cluster approvals, and no international partner answering the phone… This is what it means to be truly accountable”.
